    It still won't be available to purchase until the next day (Oct 26).

    Might be a nice event if I had a ticket.

    Just in time for Halloween. I think I'll dress up as a real operating system.

    No, go as a Windows Phone complete with blocky touch buttons, one of them labeled, Desktop.

    I think I will go to the French Quarter dressed as the Windows 8 Start Screen with a sign that says "Touch Me" with an * (Girls Only). Halloween is better than Mardi Gras in the French Quarter.
